Scott Scale Mountain Bikes

The Scott Scale is one of the longest running and most successful XC race bikes in recent years with many World Cup and World Championships wins to its credit. The Scale was designed to compliment both wheelsizes with the 27.5" models (700 Series) benefiting from superior acceleration and agility whereas the 29" models (900 Series) standout most for their rollover and momentum carrying characteristics. Whether it's the Scale 700 or 900, both belong to the lightest hardtail frames on the market. The Scale is the best choice for all kinds of endurance racers. With 27.5" wheels and 100mm of travel, the Scale 700 celebrated its most successful season ever in 2013, raced by World Champion Nino Schurter. All big wheel enthusiasts choose its 29" pendant, the Scale 900.

27.5" Wheelsize Optimized Geometry

The Scale 700 was given a geometry optimised for 27.5" wheels. Short chainstays offer manoeuvrability, while the 69 degree head angle and a longer toptube allow for more stability. The 73 degree seat angle combined with a low BB guarantees the best position on the bike. With the 27.5"/100mm (Scale 700) and the 29"/100mm (Scale 900), marathon racers and lightweight enthusiasts have the choice of two of the stiffest hardtail solutions available.

31.6mm Seatpost Diameter

While the Scale 900 uses the standard 34.9mm diameter, the Scale 700 is designed with a thinner 31.6mm diameter.

IDS-SL Dropouts (Interchangeable Dropout - System - Super Light)

Interchangeable and lightweight, the IDS-SL dropout system works with 142x12mm, 135x12mm and 135x5mm QR rear axle standards. In addition to axle standard compatibility, the IDS-SL dropouts also offer the option to run the integrated Shimano derailleur hanger. The direct mount Shimano hanger makes for a simpler and stiffer derailleur package offering more precise shifting and prolonged durability. Stiffer, stronger and lighter.

SDS (Shock Damping System) Rear Stays

SDS stays allow for 4.6mm of traction enhancing vertical compliance that remains active while the rider is standing when compared to other designs that only work when seated. The rear stays are engineered to dampen the square edge bumps providing a more comfortable ride.
